I am happy to say that Black Mage has made his first appearance. Also Stern, it was great having you. Here's a song that I love for you to remember the RP by.

@XoXKieroBombXoX Good to see your first IC post! It was everything I could have hoped for, and I liked your content a lot. I do have a few pointers. The first is that the color you picked for Black Mage's internal monologue is pretty much illegible. If you must color it, I'd recommend the light blue you used in the sheet, or maybe the yellow of his eyes. In addition, your use of present and preemptive tense is somewhat dissonant from the rest of the RP. I'm not one to force writing styles, but I don't suppose there's any chance you could switch to past tense?

@Lugubrious I can make the switch, but I've never been particularly skilled at "sticking to one specific writing style". The particular writing style I've been told is absurd and sometimes contradictory, so I can certainly try to change the style! As for the text, I can go through and make edits on the colors.

Gonna work on a header for Black Mage so that organization can be easier for me.

My entry for the Halloween short story event ~


It was fun to write. I've proofed it but I am only human, I'm sure there are some errors. I have to say that "writing in comic sans" trick works I think. Happy Halloween y'all!

Edit: oops I forgot the word count. 4,962 not including the title or the waking up past the line break.

Here's mine. I had to do some last-minute editing that really got away from me, and coupled with BBCode issues, I only managed to finish it just now, at 12:52 AM on November 1, 2019. Arguably, it can still be considered Halloween, so I'm not sure if this counts as "on-time" or not. @Lugubrious, let me know if I keep the rewards from this.

All of those count. Thank you for your submissions! After I get a chance to read all of them, I'll give you your EXP.

Ace Cadet's Nightmare has a word count of 5056. It's grand in its ambitions and combines a lot of good moments from a number of games, even if the end result is a bit unfocused and meandering. Your reward is 18 EXP!

Hat Kid's Nightmare has a word count of 4142. While it doesn't go pure horror aside from that creepy interlude, reliving the moments her world was destroyed and plunged into the abyss of a Time Warp are real nightmare material for her. I'll look forward to its conclusion later. Your reward is 36 EXP!

Donnie's Nightmare has a word count of 1555. It recounts a chilling moment of despair from his own past, with a nightmarish twist. The conflict with the old god, involving Donnie's understanding of Galeem and the dynamic between it and such a being as N'zoth, is interesting. Your reward is 20 EXP!

Black Mage's Nightmare has a word count of 3018. Just barely getting over the threshold, eh? I dig it. The story has an odd blend of tenses, at times speculative, past, and even present, but overall it's pretty cool. Paints a terrifying picture. Your reward is 9 EXP!

Blazermate's Nightmare has a word count of 3303. It's a fun and well-written action story, and definitely good practice for future fight writing. Not really horror or a nightmare, though. There wasn't anything scary, either in raw fear value, suspense, or dissonance. Blazermate had complete control over herself and the situation, and it wasn't really that threatening. Because of this, I'm afraid I'm going to have to trim your reward. Your reward is 20 EXP!

Thank you all for participating. Stay tuned for the start of the Thanksgiving event, beginning in 5 days! That will give all players 3 weeks to work on their entry.

Made my level two update for Black Mage. Added his ability "Stop" and gave a minor boost to his Thunder spell.
Edit: When a character creates a friend heart, do they lose their current powers?

It would be prudent to post your ideas for level-upgrades into the OOC here or in a PM for approval in the future.

@XoXKieroBombXoX

Hey, just FYI, we mostly use Discord for hanging out and quick OOC communication, not for roleplaying or anything. It's free and you can use it from your browser or phone, even with just a guest account if you want.

I'm just saying, you seem to use the OOC for relatively minor things quite a lot, but most of that would be better served in the Discord, where we're more likely to respond to such things.

It's your choice if you want to use it or not, but I highly suggest you do.

Well folks, it's time for another round of...

Master Dreams

In the heroes most vulnerable moments, in the depths of sleep and senselessness, he reaches for them--Master Hand. Into the distant realm of fancy seep images delightful or disturbing, for one purpose only: to break down their resolve and make them stop trying, whichever form that takes. Yet perhaps there is meaning to be found in the madness; Master Hand will find no sleeping slaves.
The Deal: A limited time opt-in event involving writing short stories that take place in dreams, canonically to occur when next your selected character sleeps or is otherwise out of it.
The Details: Before the end of the day on the provided deadline, submit a short story of your character's dream that follows the related event prompt. The dream can be of anything, and does not need to be isolated to your own character and/or his or her past experiences. Using elements from multiple games is encouraged, given the nature of this RP. Other players' characters can appear in yours's dream, but while you can consult other players, you'll need to play those characters; they can be distorted by your character's perspectives or by the dream. If you like, you can bookend your dream in brief falling asleep / waking sequences, but since we don't know where, when, or how your character will sleep next, keeping it vague would be best, and such bookends won't supplement the word count.
The Rewards: For the dream, EXP is rewarded via the following scale, where n is the level of the character that's dreaming:
<1000 words = 2 * n ; 1000-2000 words = 4 * n ; 3000+ words = 7 * n
In addition, certain elements of the dream may bleed over to the real world somehow. These might take the form of items, additional kindred spirits, or other forms yet more mysterious.

Current Event: Thanksgiving
Deadline: November 28th, end of day
Prompt: Master Hand is trying a different angle to make you give in. Comfort, satisfaction, fantasy...a dream that is preferable to reality.
